A redemptive coffee house
A Redemption Story
RAIL//LINE COFFEE started in 2015 as a dream with the desire to create a space for the South Side to gather together and create community. We launched in 2020 as a social enterprise coffeehouse that uses business to empower leaders in our low-income community through the gospel.
RAIL//LINE COFFEE is a work of Community Leadership and Development, Inc., a Christian community development organization located right across the street from RAIL//LINE. CLDI has been serving the South Side since 1981.
